How to Allow Content in Some Pages Using GTM after Cookie Consent

Often you'd want to allow some content only in a subset of your web pages and only after the visitor accepts cookies.

Sending GTM Event for Subset of Pages

<script>
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

</script>

It will fire when the visitor opens a blog page which sends the "blog" event:

3. To verify that both triggers fired, create a GTM group trigger as follows:


This group trigger will fire only after both included triggers have fired.

4. Create a GTM tag as follows using the script provided by sharethis.com


This tag will load the ShareThis toolbar only when both triggers have fired which means that the visitor has already accepted cookies and opened a blog page:
